To remove a sewer cleanout, you will need:

A screwdriver
A wrench

Once you have gathered your tools, follow these steps:

Locate the sewer cleanout. It is usually located in the basement or crawl space near the sewer line.
Unscrew the cap on the sewer cleanout using the screwdriver.
Place the bucket under the sewer cleanout to catch any water or debris that may come out.
Use the wrench to loosen the cleanout plug.
Remove the plug and clear the clog from the sewer line.
Replace the plug and tighten it using the wrench.
